Final Written Concept

After having problems with our concept, we felt it was important to sit down and come up with a concrete concept. Our track was an intense drum and bass remix by Baaeur of a Disclosure song called You & Me. With this in mind, it will be important that the intensity will be displayed through our song. This could be done through intense dances and club-like lighting. As well as this, we also studied the lyrics. After doing so, we picked up ideas of entrapment and isolation through a love struggle. As the song was quite personal, and the intensity of the beats represented this, I felt it was important to show this through our conceptual choices. Our choice of sets will demonstrate this. For example, the light corridor trapped the artist as it was a confined space. The lighting, in the corridor, changed throughout the song to correlate with the intensity of the music. During the slower bits, the artist was lit with beauty lighting, however in the intense bits it was strobing; to uphold the club-like atmosphere. The beauty lighting would be important to keep throughout the video as we want to sell our artist mainly on looks, instead of talent. It also would help to emphasise that she was the main selling point in the video which would be important as we are going to ensure that the DJ will feature less than her and be less charismatic. The DJ is also important for fulfilling our concept as we will use him as a reflection of this club-like set up. Finally, to ensure that the love story will be shown through the video, we will have a dance that will reflect the lyrics. The story of the song will be reflected through the dance, therefore meaning the concept of love will be displayed.
